Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The structures of A-G for the given conversions are to be stated.

Concept introduction:

In Wohl degradation the $\text{C1}-\text{C2}$ bond, of an aldose is cleaved and shortens its chain by one carbon. The stereochemistry of all other stereogenic carbon atoms is retained. This degradation utilizes $\left[\text{1}\right]{\text{NH}}_{\text{2}}\text{OH;}\left[\text{2}\right]{\text{Ac}}_{\text{2}}\text{O,}\text{NaOAc;}\left[\text{3}\right]{\text{NaOCH}}_{\text{3}}$ reagents.
